Milos Cihelka was the first Certified Master Chef in the United States. Some of his bio is here. About 30 years ago I was fortunate to be able to take classes from him and to do a brief (unpaid) internship.

The last 17 years before he retired, he owned a restaurant called the Golden Mushroom, and the signature dish was the Golden Mushroom Soup. I still have his recipe.

Hopefully this week, I can dig out the recipe and make it for the showcase.

Stay tuned for the best mushroom soup you've ever eaten!

Really like/appreciate the Mushroom ingredient topic - especially in the New Year (practically no calories, & they're like little sponges, soaking up whatever you add to them). It's been fun & inspiring looking through all the contributions.

Want to get to my mushroom pate, mushroom-crusted quiche, & so many other favorites. Thanks, again, for the topic.
